Dear Longhorn / Windows Vista Beta Tester,

We are pleased to announce the availability of Microsoft® Windows™ Vista™ Beta 2!! With the release of Windows Vista beta 2, we have focused on improving the experience, reliability and overall quality of Windows Vista for both enterprise and enthusiast audiences, providing a more complete and productive testing environment for customers. Windows Vista provides features such as Windows Media Player 11, enhancements to Media Center, new photo capabilities, and enhanced organizational tools.

Please take the time to download and provide feedback as early as possible. Information about ways to provide feedback can be located in the Feedback icon on the desktop of your Windows Vista system.

Beta 2 is:
